THE ADVENTURES OF THE SON OF THE UNIVERSE
Riverfront village
Yu Ming was startled until his fish slipped out of his hand.
The situation, for a moment, made Yu Ming stupefied in silence not knowing what to do.
Whether he should feel guilty about regretting or having to rejoice.
But as Yu Ming's conscious mind returned, he pushed Ji Lian Hua back away from him.
At that time Ji Lian Hua first released their lips that were tightly attached.
Ji Lian Hua stepped back away from Yu Ming and said,
"Now that it's breakeven, you don't have to feel awkward I don't have to feel awkward.."
"It's not like this better.."
Said Ji Lian Hua with a big smile.
Yu Ming who did not know what to say, finally he could only nod his head.
Yu Ming looked towards the fish that had fallen near his feet.
It felt dear that Yu Ming wanted to take it.
But Ji Lian Hua held back her hand and said,
"It's dirty don't take it,.."
"There is still.."
Said Ji Lian Hua while pointing towards the bonfire that Yu Ming made.
Yu Ming nodded and said,
"All right, let's go back there.."
The two of them immediately moved back to the fireplace.
Upon arriving near the campfire, Yu Ming accompanied Ji Lian Hua, sitting there enjoying his grilled fish remaining one.
Yu Ming had offered, but Ji Lian Hua rejected him, asking Yu Ming to just finish the fish.
Seeing that Ji Lian Hua was acting normal again, Yu Ming also pretended that nothing had ever happened between them.
While sitting down accompanying Yu Ming ate Ji Lian Hua said,
"Yu Ming to the fish earlier was very strange and sinister.."
"What kind of fish do you think..?"
Yu Ming stopped eating it for a moment, then said.
"It may be a type of Chi Wen, a creature of the marriage of a dragon and a fish.."
"Only this one is more unique in shape.."
Ji Lian Hua nodded slowly and said,
"If the creature was around this stream.."
"Fear the lives of the people who live in this riverside village, will be in danger.."
"I'm really worried about the fate of all of them.."
Yu Ming nodded and said,
"I also have that thought, we just walk along this riverbank.."
"Till get to the nearest village to find information."
"If everything is safe we can continue the journey with a calm heart.."
"When it turns out the village is around, it's not safe. We can help them catch the fish ."
Yu Ming said seriously.
Ji Lian Hua nodded in agreement and said,
"But this will later delay Yu Ming's assignment to the.."
Yu Ming as he finished the remaining pieces of fish in his hand, he said,
"Not a problem, it's better to be late than to see there is a problem but we don't intervene to help. "
"Awhile I wash my hands first, after this we can continue the journey.."
Ji Lian Hua smiled and gave a thumbs up sign towards Yu Ming.
A moment later they both walked away from the place by walking through the thick forest on the river bank.
By late afternoon they both arrived at one of the villages located by the river.
Yu Ming and Ji Lian Hua looked at each other for a moment, then they immediately approached the crowd of people who were gathered by the river.
Yu Ming tried to ask one of the men present at the place
"Son, what are you doing here..?"
"What's been going on..?"
The man let out a long breath and said,
"You don't know young people.."
"Over these three days, in succession, there have been dozens of children playing not far from the banks of this river."
"Everything is disappearing in this river.."
"Those who were ahead were weeping and praying, they were the parents of the poor boy.."
"Pity they have to face a calamity like this.."
Yu Ming listened seriously to the explanation from the man.
When the man finished explaining Yu Ming just said,
"Did anyone see the kidnap perpetrator..?"
The man shook his head and said,
"Nobody saw it, just according to some kid who played some distance from the riverbank."
"When the boy was kidnapped, there was always a thread of water emerging from the river."
"Water rose to the surface to the edge of the river, then ensnared the children on the river bank, to be brought into the river.."
"But who did it no one saw it.."
Yu Ming and Ji Lian Hua after hearing that explanation, the two of them could already guess who the abductor was.
It's just for the sake of not causing a stir that has no results.
Yu Ming and Ji Lian Hua chose to observe and watch, the procession that was going on before them.
They let it go, the residents sent various offerings and ceremonies to the gods of the river Goddess.
To be willing to help bring back their lost daughter's son.
Yu Ming and Ji Lian Hua followed until the event was over, the residents dispersed.
Yu Ming and Ji Lian Hua also disbanded from there.
Yu Ming passed by the man he was chatting with earlier.
He was introduced to a grandfather in his 70s, who became old, as well as the village head, in the local village.
"My grandfather's name is Yu Ming, while he's my traveling companion, his name is Ji Lian Hua ."
"We're traveling a long way, coincidentally through this village.."
"It's been a afternoon, to continue our journey.."
"May grandfather be generous, allow us to spend the night in this village, tomorrow morning we just continue our journey.."
The grandfather smiled kindly and said,
"It's okay young people, you guys just calm down.."
"My house happens to have some empty rooms of my son's ex.."
"You can stay as you like, that's no problem.."
"Thank you so much cake,.."
Said Yu Ming and Ji Lian Hua compactly.
The grandfather nodded and said,
"Let's come with me. My house isn't far from here.."
While stepping Yu Ming said,
"Grandfather's daughter where are you, ? why can you live alone at home..?"
"Ooh they've been on big, been on a family, had a wife's child, they live in their own home.."
"But still in this village as well, our house is close together, just not one house left."
Yu Ming nodded in understanding, then continued following the grandfather until he arrived at the grandfather's residence not so far from the riverbank.
